Process of decoration by sublimation

ABSTRACT

The method of decorating by sublimation consists: 
 
  - in using, as support for sublimable ink, a material which is sufficiently extendible and air-permeable to be capable of adapting to the shape of the object to be decorated without the risk of damage to the decoration to be sublimated; 
  - in encasing the object in the ink support so that all its faces are covered over; 
  - and in placing the assembly in a machine under vacuum, known per se, which is itself introduced into a hot space in order to cause the transfer of the decoration onto all the faces of the object to be decorated.
